weekend at the in-laws

Mum, Dad and bump have buggered off down the smoke for the weekend, and not wanting to sit on a boring train for hours on end, I opted for an activity weekend at the Parrys.

A nice and relaxed Friday, curled up on the couch was all that was required the night before a big day in the hills. 

Another couple of munros were bagged, Sgairneach Mhor and Beinn Udlamein, check out the video of me on the summit.

The wildlife was abundant too - some great to watch from a distance like the big herd of deer on the ridge, some nice to lick like the toad I found (a bit too rubbery to eat I thought), and some nice to chase - nearly got a hare, well nearly was within about 2 meters, and very nearly got a grouse before the lead pulled me back - now that was within about 3 inches - I definitely would have had him but for the lead - grrrrrrrrrr

As always, a big day on the hill is followed by a few pints, and this was no different - off to the Starbank for a few swift ales.  I was a bit knackered, so I fell asleep under the table after about 2/3 of a pint - honest it was down to being tired and nothing to do with being pissed.

as you can see - I was still tired when I got home - along with Dan (who was pissed I think - couldn't be like it myself).

Return of the Mack

well here we are again - party time at the Parry household.

I was dropped off at about 9:30 this morning and thought I could have at least the morning curled up in my bed taking a rest.  Well, that Dan is a real slave driver and had me on the go straight away.  Whoever told him I was a dab hand at joinery will have me cocking my leg on them.  But I had a quick go with the circular saw........

and then the router - what a cracking job I did - even if I do say so myself.

the afternoon was spent chasing around the garden for my frisbee - Dan just doesn't have the pace nowadays to keep up with me.

Well - I eventually managed to get him to head down the road to the Starbank.  I met a few foxy chick dogs down there - I'm not sure what the doggy term is for a MILF, but I met a grey whiskered cougar down the who kept licking my ears !!!!! - I was happy with that until the young russian husky minx came sniffing me - she was HOT - but Ann kept the lead taught - Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr



High Altitude Climbing

Mum and dad have been pondering on climbing Aconcagua in South America.  I hope they've sorted out my pet passport by then - I really fancy cocking my leg up there !!!  I wonder if I can get a 800 fill down doggy suit????

Mum was trying on Ann's high altitude boots, Millet Everests I think they were called

I find these a little on the garish side - I'm more a Scarpa Vega sort of pooch

Wedded Bliss - everyone's at it !!!!

Well - it's been a while since I've had the chance to update you on my adventures.  Mum and Dad came home from their honeymoon in Italy - so much for the promise of a pedigree chum flavoured pizza.  I bet they ate it on the plane on the way home - grrrrrr.

They did take me up to Ann and Dan's wedding in Ballachulish though.  I wasn't invited to the ceremony, but managed to sneak into the photos.  I must be a better looking dog than I thought, as everyone wanted to hold me, but I saved all that for the Bride who looked particularly hot - WOOF WOOF

A busy day in the office

I think if I practised my typing skills a little more, then I could well make a success of this office based work.  Hang on - someone is on the dog and bone - must go.

Leisure time photos

Sunday chill out

I was up early this morning, and was going to go for a walk around the botanic gardens - autumn is here and I wanted to bury my nose in the golden leaves.  Alas, no furry creatures allowed.  Can you believe it - a massive woodland park but no dogs.  Dan wanted to pretend he was blind and play the guide dog card, but even I couldn't pass for a labrador.

Instead we went to Inverleith Park - I had heard they do Army bootcamp training on a Sunday, so I got dressed up all ready to go.  Dad would have been so proud of me in my alternative combats - I would have complimented him in his stag do outfit.

The rest of Sunday was spent finalising some last minute things for Ann and Dan's wedding next week.  I tried on my outfit - even though I'm still waiting for my invite.

 

Anyway mum and dad, I hope you're still having a lovely time in Italy, less than a week to go until I can tuck into that pedigree chum flavoured pizza you're going to bring me home.  woof woof
